Rashee Rice remains in Dallas jail as Chiefs begin mandatory minicamp
Jun 09, 2026
The Kansas City Chiefs are kicking off mandatory minicamp today as their star wide receiver remains in jail. Rashee Rice violated his probation last month and was ordered to serve 30 days.
Rice tested positive for THC, according to court records, a violation of his probation for charges related t
o a multi-car crash in Dallas more than two years ago. Rice is expected to be released on Tuesday, June 16.
According to court documents, Dallas County District Judge Ernest White ordered a modification of Rice’s conditions of his community supervision, ordering him to submit to urinalysis testing at least once a month and submit the results to Dallas County Community Supervision and Corrections.
Rice reportedly had knee surgery shortly before being booked and is unable to fully rehab while behind bars.
The 26-year-old Rice missed the first six games of last season after the NFL found that he had violated its personal conduct policy when he caused that multi-car crash while driving erratically at speeds nearing 120 mph. Rice left the scene of the accident before police arrived, then took responsibility for the wreck in a statement a couple of weeks later.
Rice turned himself in when an arrest warrant was issued, and he subsequently pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges last July for the collision. Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years’ probation. He was also required to pay the victims’ medical expenses.
Rice had 53 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns last season as Kansas City went 6-11 and missed the playoffs.
Rice is entering the final year of his rookie contract. During his three season in Kansas City he’s also missed time with a knee injury and helped the Chiefs win the Super Bowl in the 2023 season.
